I guess your results is from M12. Several of your FAILED tests have now been fixed, see bug 991. The last three tests should fail: JS "tags." "ids." and "classes." are proprietary Nav4 features and will not be implemented, see: http://sites.netscape.net/ekrock/standards.html I'll leave the two remaining cases that "fail" to the CSS gurus to decide: <font color="red"><table> <tr><td>FONT tag outside table</td></tr> </table></font> and: <div style="color:red;"><table> <tr><td>style attached locally to DIV tag outside a table</td></tr> </table></div> Both of these can be summarized as "table not inheriting color", which is handled by bug 1044. dup?

Mats is correct. Closed as dup of 1044. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 1044 ***

Verified dup of #1044
